Inline comments:
In `@src/index/writer_lock.cpp`:
- Line 58: After successful lock acquisition in the writer-lock flow, call the
existing remove_endpoint helper for the cache directory before resetting the
lock file with resize_file. This ensures a new writer clears any stale
server.json while holding the lock, while allowing a serving writer to publish
its endpoint afterward.
In `@src/sched/context.cpp`:
- Around line 310-312: Update the synthesis gating around can_synthesize and
synthesize so HeaderMode::NeedsContext never falls back to an incomplete
self-contained command in read-only mode. Reuse existing read-only header
artifacts when available; if context cannot be synthesized or recovered,
propagate an explicit error through
resolve_header_context/query::compile_command rather than silently omitting the
required preamble or suffix. Preserve the existing host-choice behavior.
In `@src/sched/index_view.cpp`:
- Line 73: Update the read-only load in the view-serving path to detect and
reconcile compile-command or clice.toml snapshot changes before serving
persisted rows. Ensure affected units are represented in view.dropped, or
perform the equivalent in-memory reconciliation, even when no source content
changed and no build method runs.
In `@src/server/service/query_commands.cpp`:
- Line 96: In the query-command handling before assigning `locator.line`, reject
any present `params.line` value that is less than or equal to zero by returning
an unexpected error stating that the line must be positive; preserve assignment
for valid positive or absent values.
- Around line 242-245: Update file_deps and impact_analysis in
src/server/service/query_commands.cpp at lines 242-245 and 262-265 so an unknown
path with no file_table entry returns the established error instead of a
successful empty result; both commands must use the same error behavior.
- Around line 419-423: Replace the independent relation-kind collection around
collect(RelationKind::Reference) with IndexQuery::references so shared anchors
are deduplicated across references, declarations, and definitions. Build the
query cursor from resolved->symbol.hash and resolved->site, pass
include_declaration, skip sites without lines_of data, and populate
result.references with each site’s file, starting line, and context_line.
In `@src/server/transport/control_client.cpp`:
- Line 46: Update the control request flow around request() and send_request to
pass a finite timeout when invoking the peer exchange, while preserving the
existing peer-close and timeout-diagnostic error path so stalled endpoints
cannot keep the event loop running indefinitely.
In `@src/server/transport/control_server.cpp`:
- Line 24: Authenticate control-channel requests handled by the peer.on_request
callback before processing clice/index or returning configuration data. Add an
unguessable capability with restrictive OS permissions, or replace the loopback
transport with an operating-system access-controlled transport, and require that
credential for every request.
In `@src/server/transport/master_server.cpp`:
- Around line 659-664: Update index::write_endpoint and its call in
start_control_listener to propagate publication and serialization failures; only
set endpoint_recorded and start serve_control after a successful write. If
publication fails, terminate the startup path before marking the endpoint as
recorded.
- Around line 709-712: Update accept_connections so the LSP registration state
is cleared when the owning Connection closes, before that connection is removed.
Ensure lsp_registered becomes false only for the connection holding the
LSPClient, allowing a later client to receive a new LSP handler while preserving
the single-registration behavior for active connections.
In `@tests/unit/index/database_tests.cpp`:
- Around line 368-370: Guard the PID stamp read and assertion in the WriterLock
test with a non-Windows preprocessor condition, since the held lock file is not
readable there. Keep lock.reset() and the subsequent empty-file assertion
outside the guard so that behavior remains tested on every platform.

What changed
clice queryno longer needs a running server: it opens the persisted index read-only straight from disk (shards borrowed from the database's read snapshot, nothing copied) and answers eleven questions —symbolSearch,definition,readSymbol,references,callGraph,typeHierarchy,documentSymbols,compileCommand,projectFiles,fileDeps,impactAnalysis— as one JSON object on stdout:{"result": ..., "stale": [...]}or{"error": "...", "stale": [...]}with exit code 1.stalelists the files whose rows were withheld because their content on disk no longer matches what was indexed (the positions would point into text that moved); a file whose only change is a header it includes keeps answering. Symbol ids are#<hex>strings and--symbolaccepts them; invalid--direction/--filter, a missing file, an ambiguous name and an absent index are errors.--freshbrings the index up to date before answering. One process writes a workspace's index at a time: the writer lock now sits at the cache directory root (one per workspace, across configurations) and is held by the workspace for its lifetime; a serving server records its loopback control endpoint next to it.clice indexandclice query --freshask that server to sweep the build (the request carries the configuration and is refused on a mismatch, when the server keeps background indexing off, or when its build is empty); with no server they run the batch indexer; a lock held by a process that cannot be asked fails with the holder named instead of waiting. Units that failed to index are listed understaletoo.The agentic socket protocol,
AgentClientand the pipe-mode--portlistener are gone; the server keeps a control channel with the singleclice/indexaction.
